Browser issue in IE

I have just switched to twenty eleven. I have also removed the header title from my blog as I have the title included in my image. This works OK in Firefox but not in IE. The search option which used to appear above the image when the title is displayed, moves to just under the image when you remove the title. In Firefox this is just OK but in IE it seems to stretch and knock out some of my menu pages (I have quite a number of pages) - this is hopeless.

(1) When your remove your blog title from here > Settings > General you do so at your own peril. This is because search spiders expect to find it there. They cannot "see" or "read" and any text in images. If they fail to find the blog title here > Settings > General then they may not index your content.

(2) Search box top right hand corner -I assume you are referring to IE8 and not IE9. Is that correct?
